Safety and Efficacy Study of PUMCH-E111 Injection in Subjects With RLBP1 Related Inherited Retinal Dystrophy

Official title

An Open-Label, Single-Center, Dose-Escalation Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of Intravitreal Injection of PUMCH-E111 in Subjects With RLBP1 Related Inherited Retinal Dystrophy

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PUMCH-E111 injection in subjects with RLBP1 related Inherited Retinal Dystrophy.

Detailed description

This is an open-label, single-center, dose-escalation study. One eye of each participant will receive a single intravitreal injection of PUMCH-E111. Participants will be followed for 52 weeks after which they will continue to be followed for up to 5 years after enrollment.

• Subjects with abnormal coagulation function: prothrombin time (PT) > upper limit of normal value of 3 seconds or activated partial thromboplasting time (APTT) > upper limit of normal value of 10 seconds; Haemoglobin (HGb) < 10 g/dL;
• Those who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, treponema pallidum antibody and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody;
